Psalm 108

O God I fix my heart,
My glory bears a part:
And (as my tongue)
So shall my song
Praise thee with musicks art.
Wake harp and psaltery,
Right early wake will I:
Thy praises Lord
Will I record,
The people standing by.
I'l praise thee with my song,
The nations all among:
To heavens high,
To clouds of skie,
His truth and mercies throng.
Exalted be thy Name,
Above the heavens frame:
Let earth below
The Trumpet blow
Of thy renowned fame.
That thy belov'd of thee
Delivered may be:
Thy help command,
With thy right hand,
And kindly answer me.

2. Part.
IN holiness God spake,
Which doth me joyfull make:
Shechem my share
And Succoth are
To measure out and take.
Manasseh Gilead's mine,
And Ephraim I'l assign,
While Judahs tribe
My laws prescribe,
To keep this head of mine.
My washpot Moab shall be,
Edom I'l tread on thee:
Philistia do
Thou triumph too,
And that because of mee.
But who will be my guide,
To Edom fortifi'd?
Lord, wilt not thou
Assist us now
That hast before deni'd?
O Lord wilt thou refrain
• Armies to maintain?
Thy help afford
In trouble Lord,
For mortall succour's vain.
With Gods assistance crown'd,
We shall do acts renown'd:
For he it is,
The pow'r is his
That shall our foes confound.
